In the spirit of Tom Wolfe and John McPhee, The Mission is David W. Brown's "masterful" (Scientific American), genre-defying narrative of the most ambitious science project ever conceived: Europa Clipper, NASA's deep space mission to the Jovian moon where might swim the first known alien life in our solar system. Brown's acclaimed account reveals the Homeric, never-before-told story of modern space exploration, offering a magnificent portrait of the inner lives of scientists who study the solar system's mysterious outer planets.
